READ MORE: Phoebe Bridgers – ‘Lost Weekend’ review: indie’s poet laureate returns with a staggering, strange and stirring opus.
The singer-songwriter’s third studio album ‘Lost Weekend‘ was released last Friday (August 14) and today, it landed at Number One on the UK Albums Chart.
Bridgers has been photographed holding her Number One Album award in a hospital bed today (August 21), after a week in which she has been receiving treatment for appendicitis.
The new album has also topped the Vinyl Albums Chart and Record Store Chart in the UK, and it becomes the first ever Number One album for Bridgers’ indie label Dead Oceans.
Bridgers played two small, phone-free concerts at London’s Union Chapel on Monday (August 17), her 32nd birthday, as part of the album’s launch celebrations, and had been due to play three further stops in Kingston, Brighton and Bristol this week, but those shows had to be cancelled due to her hospitalisation.
She has now confirmed that those dates will be honoured in December, after the conclusion of her UK and European arena tour. She will now play two shows each in Bristol, Brighton and Kingston on December 15, 16 and 17 respectively.
Existing tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates, with further information to be shared at a later date as more tickets become available.
DECEMBER 15 – Electric, Bristol (matinee and evening) 16 – Chalk, Brighton (matinee and evening) 17 – Circuit, Kingston (matinee and evening).
Those gigs will be phone-free, with all devices to be secured in Yondr pouches for the duration of each performance.
Bridgers is due to begin the North American leg of her ‘Lost Tour’ next month, before heading to the UK, Ireland and Europe in November and December. See the full list of dates here and find any remaining tickets here.
